LOCKOUT laws will be implemented in Queensland from July after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk reached a deal to pass the legislation.

Ms Palaszczuk reached an 11th-hour agreement with Katter’s Australian Party MPs Rob Katter and Shane Knuth this morning after agreeing to a list of demands and changes to the proposed legislation.

“My government’s laws will pass through the parliament of Queensland,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

The Labor government has agreed to look at unemployment issues and investment opportunities in Mr Katter and Mr Knuth’s northwestern electorates and prioritise mental health funding in the next budget, which is due in June.

Amendments to the government’s lockout laws, agreed to today, include the ability to ban drug offenders from nightclub precincts and a phasing-in of changes to trading hours for pubs and clubs.
